How far back can you go and find anatomically modern humans? How “modern” would they be?

I know I can just google the answer to this, but what I’m wondering is what exactly is the definition of an anatomically modern human? A human who can reproduce with a modern human? I’m wondering, if you go back 150,000 years and get a human from that time and raise them in modern society, would they be in any way different? Would anything give them away?

While a homo sapien 150,000 years ago might look like you and me, most scholars believe their brains weren’t the same. There seems to be an evolutionary change in homo sapien brains 50,000 or so years ago that led to humanity as we currently know it.
